Terror

As another step is nearing completion, the fear and terror are back. I expect to be done with Draft 3 by the end of the day. I have one scene to write (brand new scene) and then I’ll be calling it done. And that is absolutely terrifying. The next step is Beta Readers. Letting other…

TEP3 – Week 4
This week has been very different from my typical weeks. My husband and I flew to Milwaukee on Saturday, spent a few days exploring the city and enjoying each other’s company, then on Tuesday started helping set up for Adepticon (gaming convention) and experiencing that and visiting with friends the last several days. Which has…

I finally…

Step by Step
Oops. It’s been exactly a month since my last blog update. Sorry about that. Life has gotten so busy and combined with the tediousness of the current step I’m in for writing, I haven’t felt like I’ve had much to update. I finished reading Draft 1 and taking notes on what I felt needed improvement…
